Copying from sibling reply:
Following that logic its name is "Pixar", but that is not the case.
It's the Luxo ball as in "the ball from the Luxo film" not "Luxo the ball". The ball doesn't have a name.
I'm not gonna dig out the hard drive to prove this so believe it or don't but we called it the luxo ball in my first year motions graphics class. It was the demo project to teach us about textures, lighting, and basic animation using the ball
It is "the Luxo ball", but Luxo is not its name.
Compare to "the GEICO gecko". Its name is not "GEICO", it is (apparently) Martin.
